BASBOUSA / ARABIC SEMOLINA CAKE

For this month Home bakers challenge Nupur of uk rasoi is hosting and she challenged us with some Arabic desserts. Here in kerala its very difficult to get the arabic ingredients. So i choose simple semolina cake aka basbousa. Basousa is a traditional Arabic sweet cake made with semolina, soaked in sugar syrup. The syrup may optionally contain orange blossom water or rose water. Here i used rose water.
